We further tailor the system to the discussed use case which gives us an advantage over other STM systems that are more general. With this approach, initial results suggest that we can keep the overhead of STM _______________________________________________ pypy-commit mailing list pypy-commit@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pypy-commit
